Two photos of one of my jobs this week in Richmond, VA. I am struggling taking a pair of good pictures before and after of the same roof top. I cleaned nine roofs this week and these are the only two that were somewhat clear as a pair.

I'm a little confused about SH & liquid pool chorine (the kind I get from Pinch-A-Penny, Leslies, and Ace. ) Are there differences between the two? I've read a couple of posts using some terminology that has made be think there was a difference. Couple a couple of experts chime in on this?

Hey everyone!! I was wondering if anybody has tryed "Azone 15" a good friend of mine work's for engineering america and said I should try it!! They use it to clean out there tanks. Please give me some feed back... here he is again!!! love his moves.

This is a 3.5 GPM / 45 psi Max Shurflo. I currently have a 3/4" hose for the inlet and 5/8" of 200 feet for the outlet. I'm thinking if I went down to 150 feet of hose from 200 feet of hose that maybe I'd get an extra 10 feet....that would be terrific. Does anyone know if 50 ft really makes a differe...

Would the Fatboy be a good choice for a first time rig doing residential jobs? Thanks, Mike

Upcoming job of asphalt roof cleaning, pressure wash house and also lots of vinyl fencing. I also get to try out the new all-flo setup for the first time, can't wait. The house has siding and fascia gables over the shingles that are in need of the love. Should I wash the house first, then the fence (...

Hey guys, I remember reading about reusing the Love and running it through a filter or screen but, I can't find it with the search button. What kind of set up is everyone using? How many microns is necessary for the filter or screen? Thanks guys we are ready to pull the trigger on everything.

Does anyone have their own SH tank on their property? I talked with a customer of a supplier today. Was informed chem. company will set up a gravity feed tank system on my property at no charge and deliver fresh SH weekly to me. Minimum usage is 1500 gallons per month, and the cost is $1.30 per gallon....

I've read a few threads here where some of you have great things to say about Valpak. I've seen a few others say it wasn't worth it. Can all you folks that have tried Valpak weigh in and tell me: 1 - how many zones did/do you send out to and 2 - how many consecutive months did you do it? I am about to send my first V...

Has anyone used "Dichlor" in place of SH? Dichlor has 55% available chlorine, less expensive the SH and is more stable. I would like to try some but can't figure the mix to water ration to be the equivalant of 12.5% SH. any suggestions or comment on experiences? Thanks Slugo

Ok just got the go ahead to clean a Tile Roof and we dont have alot of them down here! I have read alot about how to clean them but cant find a mix ratio that will be good to use? Also is there anything I need to watch out for! The reason I ask is because the house is a 3.8 million dollar home and if we do good on th...

As a new guy I could use some insight on what people think of a flyer I came up with. Is there any other important information I should be adding ? PLEASE let me know I want to do things the RCIA way.

Hey guys...I got an call today to clean rust stains off of a roof. I am going to use OX but I have no idea what to charge for something like this. Is there a certain price that I should be charging for this service? By the stain, to go out, etc? I want to be fair to the customer and myself. Your imput would be grea...

First, I would like to say hi to all in the Roof Cleaning Forum. I've been looking at old posts over the winter to try and understand how to correctly apply a solution to roofs that make a house look new again. I bought a Delvan Fatboy and mixed my Apple cider Sauce and went to work. The only thing I...

What do you tell your customers in regards to parking below their fascia on driveway. I've been looking at homes all over since discovering this forum. My concern is someone parks a car below their fascia/soffit without gutters and then it rains with the product dripping on their car. I'm guessin...

I have looked on here about using a paint sprayer and haven't found any negative feed back or is there? My business partner which by trade is a painter but in the past also did some roof cleaning with a company that no longer exists. They used a product called Dur-a-kleen DK2001 looks like it was made in Pa...

Hey everyone, we tried our mixture on a house and did a test square. We used a pump up sprayer because our equipment isn't here. We had a lot less run off than we expected. The house had gutters on the area we tested. Here's a before picture. I'll attach an after picture tomorrow when we recheck it and maybe...
